Bill guarantees autonomy for UEG.
The draft, currently at the Civil House for later submission to the Legislative Assembly, regulates and consolidates the financial, accounting, patrimonial, academic, administrative, and political autonomy of the State University of Goiás; in an unusual dispatch, Governor Perillo wrote: “This date is historic! It marks the beginning of the full autonomy of UEG. It is also the birthday of former Governor Henrique Santillo, one of the visionaries behind UEG.”
Goiás247_ Governor Marconi Perillo forwarded this Friday (23) to the Civil House Cabinet, for final adjustments and subsequent forwarding to the Legislative Assembly, a draft bill that regulates and consolidates the financial, accounting, patrimonial, academic, administrative and political autonomy of the State University of Goiás - UEG. In an unusual and emotional dispatch, the governor wrote: “This date is historic! It consecrates the beginning of the full autonomy of UEG. It is also the birthday of former governor Henrique Santillo, one of the idealizers of UEG”. Also in the dispatch, Marconi asks for speed in the processing of the project.
The rector of UEG, Haroldo Reimer, emphasized the governor's "personal commitment and political support for UEG's autonomy" as fundamental points for reaching this stage. According to him, once the new format is approved, UEG will gain the structure to assume more responsibilities "and provide faster and more effective responses to the demands of society."
Reimer assured that as soon as the project goes through the administrative channels in the Civil House, Segplan and Sefaz, and moves on to the Legislative Assembly, the university administration will do all the necessary work with the parliamentarians to ensure speed and approval of the matter, as submitted.
Furthermore, according to the rector of UEG, as soon as the Legislative Assembly of Goiás (Alego) approves the institution's autonomy project, the University Council will meet to establish rules and specifications that regulate the structure. The goal is for UEG to operate in the new format by the end of 2014. In the medium term, UEG wants to continue expanding the number of its own master's programs, which in the last 18 months has increased from two to seven, while also improving the General Course Index (IGC), currently at three, to four, and seeking new lines of funding beyond the budgetary allocation from the State Treasury.
Rector Reimer and Governor Marconi Perillo met early in the morning in the office at the Palácio das Esmeraldas.
